I am experiencing an enormous amount of schadenfreude.
No one is more deserving after utterly failing to build the software team required to do the job, and fucking it up so badly as to put peoples lives in jeopardy.
this wasn’t just crappy pcms. This was cars dying on the highway due to...
Paying 6k for sport chrono that gives you a button and a thicker steering wheel vs the same amount for a battery upgrade that gives you real world performance…
maybe euro sport chrono pack is different than us. But seems goofy to me.
There is no hint that this will be mass marketed tho. This appears to be a club sport only model.
but I was guessing it would be the base research for the boxster/cayman electeric
Mercedes ICE design lineup is amazing, I loved my e450 Coupe, but wow they screwed up the electric line. The interior is off-the-charts but sheesh could they have just made a great C-class with an electric motor and some smoothed out lines instead of this 4 box humpback abomination?!
At 55mph this is possible with a few vehicles already. I actually really want this to be true, but there have been so many 'gotchas' lately. Heck at 55mph the 4S on 19in can get 360mi range.
Single statements on range are so difficult. My 4S evidently gets 200mi at 90mph on I5, and 300 at 70. Thats a 50% increase in range based on 20mph difference. 500+ so far has been completely undemonstrated in any vehicle at a reasonable test of speed. Not saying its not possible, but 500...
I've had a 435i and about 4 other BMWs and the latest I6 is pretty punchy so I can believe it there. But the driving position on BMWs have always been pretty meh to me compared to the low slung Taycan. Second after 5 BMWs and feeling their steering just get worse every generation I gave up...
Does the Taycan have mechanical door releases? I know for myself the electric doors are the number 1 reason I will never get a Tesla. The idea of my daughter in a car seat in-back unable to get out is the stuff of nightmares.
Its kind of interesting, but these days luxo-barges are WIDELY purchased as SUVs. This is a dying market to be attacking and I'm wondering what they are thinking. I myself have an X7 to compliment by Taycan as a Luxo-barge
